28g^5h^2 and 12g^6h^5

first, we find the GCF of the coefficients 28 and 12. What is the highest number that will go into both 28 and 12 evenly ? That number is going to be 4.

now, we look at our variables....to find the GCF of the variables, pick the lowest exponent.
another words, the lowest exponent of ur variable h is h^2...and the lowest exponent of ur variable g is g^5

therefore, the GCF of these monomials is : 4h^2g^5
